Employee Appreciation Spotlight: Steven Chamberlayne, RVT, Emergency & Critical Care. Here’s the wonderful comments that were written about him: “He has been an amazing addition to the team! We have benefited from his experience, his calm demeanor, efficiency and team spirit! We hope he enjoys his new role on the team and are very excited to have him on board!” Then there’s this: “He is always so wonderful with clients but today I noticed him being extra wonderful on two different occasions. The first, he was checking in a client who became very emotional and he was very caring and understanding of how she felt. The second, he was checking in an ER. Again, family quite emotional, and he was kneeling on the floor talking with them in the lobby. His facial expressions and the way in which he communicates with clients really shows how much he cares.”

Steven describes himself as a beer snob and especially enjoys working at VSH as the doctors always seize teaching opportunities. We’re glad you joined our team and thank-you Steven! ... See MoreSee Less

This is Muggsy, a 13-year old rat terrier who came in with his sister to VSH North County, for his post-op recheck. He was initially treated by Dr. Seth Ganz for a splenectomy and mass removal and was also seen by Dr. Kay Drake for an Internal Medicine work-up. He’s doing well and both he and his sister are already in the mood for holiday festivities! ... See MoreSee Less

Testimonials

Our 13.5 year old Lab, Kealy, could not have been in better hands. She not only survived liver surgery for a ruptured abscess and septicemia, she has fully recovered and is doing GREAT!

All of the VSH staff was terrific, but a special shout out to her many veterinarians and technicians who stayed by her side 24/7 for a week nursing her back to health. We could not have asked for more, and are grateful everyday.

In July of 2014 Chloe unfortunately had a bad reaction to a vaccine and all four legs went lame. After about 3 weeks of seeing another Veterinary office, we decided to bring Chloe to Veterinary Specialty Hospital because she was not doing better.

After numerous tests, blood panels, and the wonderful direction of Dr. Steve Hill with medications, I am happy to report Chloe is now walking and RUNNING. All of her adult friends at the park are amazed to see her condition today. It has been almost a year and I am so happy to have had the guidance of Dr. Steve Hill. I never thought Chloe was going to be able to walk/run again but she is. I would like to give you a heartfelt THANK YOU for all you did for Chloe. You’re the best!

My wife and I brought Oscar, our injured French bulldog, in for an emergency consult. He had injured his spine and was rapidly losing feeling and movement.

Dr. Delamaide and Whitney got us in quickly, explained the injury, the prognosis, and the surgery. We handed Oscar off, not knowing if we would ever see him again.

Fast forward two months, after a very difficult surgery and what seemed an impossible rehab, Oscar has resumed walking, playing, and is just about his old self again. He still has some improvements to make but he is well on the way.

Just wanted to thank you all for giving our family member a chance. We can’t thank you enough.
